Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has said the "power of Allied force" is as relevant today as it was in 1917, as world leaders gathered to mark the centenary of a defining First World War battle. Three thousand, five hundred and ninety-eight Canadians were killed in the fighting.

The battle across a 7km (4.3-mile) ridge began in heavy snow and sleet and lasted four days. In total, there were 1,325 casualties among members of the CAMC over the course of the First World War. And we must believe it: "Never again". Clapperton. "As a country, we came together". People of many languages and backgrounds, representing every region in Canada, fought for the values we hold so dear: freedom, democracy, and peace.
